New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The veteran outfielder has been hitting the ball better lately with four hits over his last five games. However, the Mets have been easing him back into action giving him his third rest day on Tuesday since his return from the injured list. Jesse Winker will bat fifth and cover right field versus right-hander Brandon Pfaadt on Tuesday. Winker has been hitting the cover off the ball since joining the Mets roster. He's hitting .288 with one homer and five RBI in 21 games with the team.
New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) was activated off the 10-day IL on Sunday morning and will return to the starting lineup. He is slated to bat in the five-hole and cover right field. Marte has been sidelined for just over two months with a bruised knee. Prior to the injury, the 35-year-old carried a strong .278/.328/.416 line with seven home runs and 12 swiped bags. Marte is worth adding in standard leagues where available, given his ability to contribute all five categories and that he should always be penciled into the starting nine. This afternoon, he is worth a look in DFS as he will be batting in the heart of the lineup and will face Miami right-hander Valente Bellozo.
New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) is scheduled to play nine innings in a minor-league rehab game on Friday with Triple-A Syracuse and could be activated from the injured list on Sunday, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. The Mets are just waiting to see if Marte can play back-to-back games on defense before bringing him back to the big-league roster. The 35-year-old veteran has been out since June 22, so the Mets could ease him back into everyday duties in right field in Queens once he's back. The Dominican could be a huge boost for the Mets offense as they look to claim the final wild-card spot in the National League down the stretch in 2024. Marte's return could mostly be bad news for recent trade acquisition Jesse Winker's playing time. Before getting hurt, the two-time All-Star was hitting .278 (68-for-245) with seven homers, 30 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 66 games.
New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) could be activated from the 10-day injured list this weekend. In Marte's three minor-league rehab games with Single-A St. Lucie and Double-A Binghamton, he's gone 2-for-7 with a home run and a stolen base. The veteran outfielder is recovering from a bone bruise in his right knee, but as long as he doesn't suffer a setback while playing in the minors the rest of the week, it sounds like he should rejoin the team for their weekend series against the visiting division-rival Miami Marlins. Marte has been on the injured list since June 25 but should eventually return to everyday duties in right field for the Mets. The 35-year-old Dominican will return to a .278/.328/.416 slash line with a .745 OPS, seven home runs, 30 RBI and 12 stolen bases whenever he's reinstated.
New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) is officially set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Wednesday for Single-A St. Lucie, which will mark his first game action since June 22. It's a major step forward for Marte, who recently said he expects to advance to Double-A Binghamton by the end of this week. Barring any setbacks, that would put him on track to rejoin the Mets during their nine-game homestand that begins next Tuesday against the visiting Oakland Athletics. Fantasy managers should grab the 35-year-old former All-Star from waiver wires where they can at this stage of his recovery from a bone bruise. Before getting hurt, Marte was chipping in to each category while batting .278 (68-for-245) with seven home runs, 30 RBI, 38 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases in 66 games as New York's primary right fielder. Despite Jesse Winker's presence, Marte should return to a prominent role for the Mets upon his return.
